Well, normally I do start at TXL, but this trip, I'll do TXL/CDG on a Monday, then fly home on Wednesday, so if I have to, I could get to CDG early, but I really don't want to have to get there 4 hours early. On the other hand, if my good seat disappears at some point close to my travel date, I could be stuck in no man's land!
